(http://GeneaPopPop.blogspot.com)<br /><br />As a result of using your model, I would suggest two additional areas for assessment, both are somewhat hinted at in your model, but not elaborated upon: 1) Collaboration (What level of collaborative proficiency do I exhibit? This could include: random acts of genealogical kindness, sharing with &amp; receiving data and sources from others, blogging...) and 2) Story-telling (Can I convert data into coherent and accurate stories about the people and families in my genealogy? To what degree, do I integrate general historical data into the stories?) As a genealogist who falls into the primary sub-category of &quot;family historian&quot; (rather than &quot;professional genealogist&quot;), my primary focus is the discovery and publishing of the stories that reside in the data (rather than just collecting, documenting, and publishing the data). I do not mean to suggest that a family historian is not concerned about the accuracy of data and its sources, nor that a professional genealogist only cares about the data and its sources. I believe, however, that there is a subtle difference in focus.GeneaPopPophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02854939812003260963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-60505976496484131212010-03-06T21:27:41.405-07:002010-03-06T21:27:41.405-07:00I will assess myself with your maturity chart, I h...I will assess myself with your maturity chart, I have some very different views in this area.

I appreciate Dave Green&#39;s comments about collaboration.

Even is they did, Your &quot;mature&quot; genealogist wouldn&#39;t look at it and so it would never be highly respected.<br /><br />The &quot;mature&quot; genealogists I know are collaborating and helping people - something you don&#39;t even mention. You seem to be treating it as a solely individual (even competitive) venture. Your &quot;mature&quot; genealogist can neither accept or give help because they must only be looking at original record sources from official custodians. They can &quot;teach and inspire&quot; but not collaborate.<br />I understand that you probably meant the steps to build on each other and not supersede. But the &quot;Conclusion Tree&quot; levels seem to encourage people to become more selfish and elitist.Dave Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04311665905119511388noreply@blogger.com
